Abstract
An electrical connector assembly that is readily coupled or uncoupled is provided with means for retarding premature uncoupling thereof. The connector assembly comprises a first shell 100 having a flange 140 thereabout and bosses 111 on the periphery thereof adjacent the flange, and a coupling nut 300 that has stop members 311 on the inner wall thereof. A spring 500 is situate between the flange 140 of the first shell 100 and the end wall 305 of the coupling nut, with the stop members preventing rotational movement of the spring 500 relative to the coupling nut 300, while the bosses 111 retard movement of the spring 500 relative to the first shell 100.
